Subject: [PATCH -V2 03/10] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages
In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order
pages on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be
drained when PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to
improve the cache-hot pages reusing between page allocating and
freeing CPUs.
On system with small per-CPU data cache, pages shouldn't be cached
before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large
per-CPU data cache, more pages can be cached before draining to reduce
zone lock contention.
So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "batch"
pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the per-CPU data cache
size is more than "4 * batch".
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the
network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test
suite with 16-pair processes increase 72.2%. The cycles% of the
spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 45.8% to
21.2%. The number of PCP draining for high order pages
freeing (free_high) decreases 89.8%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.3%.
